RX- 7 E Production
racecar build. If you don’t recall
parts one through three, don’t
worry; it’s foggy for us, too. The
truth is, it’s been about six years
since our last update on this
project car and, honestly, we’re not
even sure how many installments
we did first time around. Thus,
here lies part four-ish of the build.

PROJECT EP RX- 7...REVIVAL

For those who do remember,
they’ll note that when this
project originally began we
were building the RX- 7 for a
different SCCA Road Racing
class, namely Super Touring
Under. Back then, we rescued a

1990 RX- 7 from the junkyard,replaced the bent front subframeand front right suspensionarm, left the partly damagedfront right fender in place, hadAutopower install a roll cage, andthen went to town with go-fast,relatively affordable goodness.

We chucked the stock ECU
and installed an Electromotive
TECgt, cut out the factory fuel
tank and went with an aluminum

For suspension, we replaced
most of the factory bushings with
poly units (with a heim joint here
and there for increased alignment
adjustability), and then installed
a price-friendly swaybar and nonadjustable Bilstein damper setup
utilizing front strut housings
we modified to maximize tire
clearance and camber.
